The name Lucas Turner is embossed on every WRSI Current, Current Pro and Moment helmet. In honor of his memory, Lucas’s family founded the Whitewater Research and Safety Institute to provide paddlers like Lucas with better safety gear and knowledge. Working with researchers and engineers at Johns Hopkins University, we developed a safer whitewater helmet—a helmet that put the best safety technology available in the hands of boaters at a reasonable cost.
